This may not roll out until 2025 in some areas, due, mostly, to cost. China may have an edge here as they invest in infrastructure in a big way now, Huawei and ZTE are ready to start testing. There may be some testing by ATT soon, but these will be limited, and not in rural areas for some time. Either way, it’s coming.
